Frontman Dan Smith beat a drum as he sang 'Things We Lost in the Fire', before moving to the keyboard for 'Overjoyed'.

The group's setlist also included 'Laura Palmer', 'Flaws', their mash-up of 'Rhythm of the Night' and 'Rhythm Is a Dancer', and their breakout hit 'Pompeii'.

Interviewed by the BBC's Greg James and Jen Long afterwards, keyboardist Kyle Simmons said of the gig: "[We were] as terrified [as last year, our first Reading appearance]. Maybe more so, because now there's pressure because it's not the first time, and we're meant to be okay."

Smith went on to joke of the large crowd: "Major Lazer were playing after us. I think everyone was queuing to get in to Major Lazer."
